Since our foundation in 1880, ORT has been transforming lives through training and education. From focussing on teaching 19th century Russian Jews essential trades and professions, we have evolved to provide 21st century skills to empower people and strengthen communities. Our network now reaches 200,000 people, across 39 countries, in more than 40 schools, two universities, and vocational training programs. We provide a combination of high-level science and technology education with strengthened Jewish identity, bridging the gap between ability and opportunity – and ensuring the continuity of Jewish life worldwide.
